Mistake Towards the Enemy.

There is the mistake which comes through daring, what I call a mistake towards the enemy, in which you must always sustain our commanders, by sea, land or air. There are mistakes from the safety first principle, mistakes of turning away from the enemy; and they require a far more acid consideration." - Sir Winston Churchill

In good decision making, the ‘enemy’ is ignorance.

Better to make a mistake following a good decision making process, than from the safety of positional power or inaction.
